This is the best brickfilm I've seen all year. 
The setting is so dramatic and cool-feeling, and the camera motions are fantastic! I would love to see how you pulled those off. They're just about everywhere.
The set could probably use some dusting though. There's a lot of stuff on some of those green plates, which is a bit weird.
I think the fact that the word LEGO had to be in the title kind of killed it.
Wow, that animation was beautiful. And the 5-second shot at 0:35 was excellently pulled off; I didn't notice one camera bump! In fact, a lot of these shots were really good, especially the ones at 1:05 and 2:45. How do you pull of such awesome-looking camerawork? Plus, this eerie, suspenseful atmosphere made the film feel so real, and the voice acting contributed to that too. And that closing shot ended the film nicely. Awesome job; I really enjoyed this brickfilm! I expect to see more great stuff from you!
That was pretty cool. I like how you used the bumping of the tent as wind blowing, that was pure genius. The atmosphere was perfect, too, not to creepy, but not too light or comical.
I like the whole idea, too, though it was a bit predictable once he called the ambulance. But overall, nice job.
Loved every thing about the film, especially the creepy shot of the Fortune Teller at the end.
Thank you, guys! All the positive feedback is overwhelming!

He he, thanks. It was indeed a bump, which I tried to turn into a wind blow or that he pushes it, as you said. Funny that you mentioned it.

I hope to finish the behind-the-scenes video in a week or two, which will include time-lapses, "from storyboard to finished film"-sort of thing, and something showing the difference between the raw footage in a couple of shots, and the finished shot.

Well, yeah. I didn't think of that before I was done filming. I'm kind of lazy concerning dusting and cleaning, but I realize I should improve on that.
